I recently purchased a box of these fine Cuban cigars from Cuban Cigar Online for $300 and have smoked my way through 4 of them.
While not quite living up to their hype, Cohiba Robustos are a great stick.
The wrapper was smooth and veinless and cold drawing revealed good construction and grassy flavors.
For the first quarter inch I found the flavor to be a little rough. The eventual transformation to a smoother, full-bodied smoke with wooden and nutty flavors was delightful.
The Cuban cigars provided a smooth, even draw throughout and 3 of the 4 gave an even burn. The aroma was exceptional and the flavor good, if somewhat lacking in complexity.
I'm leaving the rest of the box in my humidor to age a few years. I look forward to smoking an older Cohiba Robusto, and will be purchasing more in the future.
